Afghan boy in Messi plastic bag shirt becomes Internet star

His father could not afford to buy him a replica jersey similar to football star Leo Messi’s jersey. But his brother Hamayon helped him make one from the plastic bag to make him happy in a remote village in the province some 125 kilometer south of Afghan capital. The family, who live in a remote rural area, only learnt about Murtaza’s newfound fame from relatives when Murtaza’s father’s visited the Afghan capital Kabul.
